Structural Biologist with Cryo-EM Experience

GSK's UK Structural & Biophysical Sciences (SBS) group is a global, multi-disciplinary department within R&D that provides molecular insights into drug discovery for small molecule, oligonucleotide, biopharmaceutical, and vaccine programs.

We are seeking a structural biologist with a strong knowledge of electron microscopy, particularly applied to small molecule drug development or vaccine research. The ideal candidate will be motivated to work within a team environment, applying their talents to drive impact on therapeutic projects by collaborating with others.

The successful candidate will have exceptional strengths in one to two specific areas of EM, such as instrument knowledge, challenging sample optimization, software development and processing, or creativity in addressing complex problems. They will be passionate about remaining current in this rapidly evolving field and have a strong track record of success and expertise in one or two specific areas of the cryo-EM process.

The role will involve delivering structural biology results as part of integrated cross-discipline teams to support drug discovery project decisions, designing experiments to ask critical program questions using structural and biophysical approaches, and contributing to the cryo-EM infrastructure of the department.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Deliver structural biology results as part of integrated cross-discipline teams to support drug discovery project decisions.
  • Design experiments to ask critical program questions using structural and biophysical approaches.
  • Contribute to the cryo-EM infrastructure of the department.

Requirements:

  • PhD in a biological, biochemical, or physical sciences discipline.
  • Extensive knowledge of the single-particle cryo-EM process from protein purification to grid optimization, data processing, 3-D reconstruction, and structure interpretation.
  • Demonstrated exceptional track record of success and expertise in one or two specific areas of the cryo-EM process.
  • Success with multiple high-resolution structures, including small proteins and ideally membrane protein complexes.
  • Experience with operation of screening and high-resolution data-collection microscopes.
  • Excellent organization, interpersonal, communication, and team working skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Extensive experience of cryo-EM sample preparation and optimization, including cross-linking and extending to cryo-ET.
  • Expertise in working with challenging systems, including membrane proteins and RNA.
  • Experience in automating single-particle processing or cryo-ET processing.
  • Significant experience in other structural biology or biophysical techniques.
  • Experience of scientific leadership to influence programs of research.
  • Evidence of ability to coordinate projects with interconnecting activities.
